"sorry i took so long." i say as i rush over to my coffee table.

i place my food and fix my phone so that i'm in the frame.

"can you see me?" i ask.
yoongi nods his head.

"how is it there so far?" he asks.

its been a week since i moved.

"it's nice. the apartments nice, my neighbors are nice, classes are meh." i say.

"very nice." yoongi says then starts singing seventeen. he stops when his yawn interrupted him.

"oh yeah, i completely forgot. isn't it like four am there? did you stay up this late and wait for me?"

"no i took a nap earlier." he replies before yawning again and his eyes were kind of drooping.

liar, if you want to sleep just tell me.

"i met another transfer from korea, but shes stayed longer than i have so she showed me around, we found this cute little-" i stop mid sentence only to find yoongi fast asleep.

i chuckle, "goodnight." i say before hanging up.

i sigh and continue eating my food. i didn't realize how hard long distance would be.

when he calls or texts i'm in class, when i call or text he's working. when we try video calling one of us ends up sleeping.

i take my bowl, placing it in the sink before going out.

i met up with yeongjoo (aka my new friend bc she's also a transfer though she's been here longer than me) at a coffee shop.
after ordering we sat at one of the tables and start ranting to each other about our boyfriends.

"minjae." she says, waving her hand in front of my face.
"im sorry, what?"

she laughs at me, "i've been ranting to you for ten minutes but all you've done is stare at your coffee. this is the part where you give me your honest opinion and advice."

i sigh and ruffle my hair, "sorry it's just-"
"long distance is killing you isn't it?"
"oh my god, yes."

she takes a sip of her coffee, "tell me everything."

"its just, i don't know. its only been a week and we can't even talk on the phone or video chat. stupid time difference." i say.

"it gets even more stressful later on, trust me i know."

yeonjoos currently doing long distance with her boyfriend as well. although they've been at it for two years now.

"try to have some sort of schedule to when you talk, so your bond doesn't grow weaker. when that happens that's when the trust issues kick in. all i have to say is, hang in there and don't worry. four years will pass by as soon as you know it."

i deeply sigh, "i sure hope so."
